TV/Movies Megathread

I also just like that it has someone saying "I'm brown and a woman - why the fuck would I want to go to 1800s London". It feels like someone needed to say it after sixty years of Dr Who

The actual quote was a little less soundbitey so I guess that's why you changed it?

It felt to me a litle like a flat, throwaway gag in that clip.

Reminds me of a series from over 20 years ago I can't remember the name of and was unfairly cancelled before its time. About two police who went back in time a few days to solve crimes, always having to avoid meeting themselves and rushing to get back to their time machine before a certain point.
Any idea?

Trailer for new timey-wimey series by the writer of Giri/Haji (with a terrific cast) looks good:

Based on the title I thought it was an adaptation of this novel: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2574860-the-lazarus-project

There also seems to be a movie with the same title which is also unrelated to the other two.

I know you're (rightly) in love with Giri/Haji, but that trailer does not look good in the slightest.

Last seasons of Futurama were not that great...

Back from Belfast (the movie, not the city). It plays out as a series of costumbrist vignettes in Belfast at the start of the Troubles (which are mostly on the background). To be frank the film feels more Brannagh just recreating memories from his childhood than anything else (which I tend to find irritating and is why I usually abhor these kind of movies  ), which is why it benefits from being so short. Nonetheless the casting is great and some of the scenes are quite charming, although the movie tends to fall flat whenever it enters "now I'm going to say something important" mode. You could probably remove the pretentious dialogue moments ("There was no road from Belfast to Shangri-La") and the movie would drive its point all the same.

The camerawork is amazing though. It reminded me of how great a director Brannagh can be whenever he's not doing mercenary Hollywood stuff.

Bad news is that mom saw the trailer from Licorice Pizza and now she wants to see that one too  Again, I love PTA, but I have a strong antibody response whenever famous directors do films reminiscing their childhoods.

Best movie in that franchise.

Is Brannagh an Ulsterman?
